Additional Fees to Consider

There are many additional fees that are associated with purchasing a home. Be sure to budget for these types of costs when making your purchase decision.

Fee

Cost Description

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

A down payment of less than 20% often requires PMI which will increase your monthly payment. For a $154,000 home, a 20% down payment would be $30,800.

Home Purchasing Fees

The buyer of a home will usually be required to pay for an inspection, closing costs and other fees during the closing process.

Taxes and Insurance

Purchasing a more expensive home than before will usually result in paying more in taxes and insurance.

Homeowners' Association Fees

Buying a home in a condominium or planned development may require paying a monthly or yearly fee.

Home Repairs and Improvements

A house will often require repairs that were identified during the inspection process. This can range from very minor upgrades to significant repairs costing thousands of dollars. Make sure to also consider the replacement costs of older appliances in the house as they may need to be replaced at anytime.
